India, Baroda,
Dilip Chobisa's art occupies a space between the being and absence of the third dimension. The intimate and the minute in life attract his interest and hence come up as subject matter for his works.

Dilip Chobisa, with his renditions in alluring as well as noxious medium graphite animates the dimensional propositions of constructed spaces. Working in the margins of relief and installations, Chobisa combines light and drawing, to achieve the effects of set design inducing the viewer to peep in and explore. Laced with elements of Fantasy Realism, some having dramatic surrealistic tones, the works seem to play within the realms of the monochrome fantasy. The use of graphite and light conjures up connections with black and white photography and the stage.
